Exchange of experience among stakeholders, i.e. primarily people running MediaWiki as their platform. This was done in regular online and offline meetings as well as through our newly built online platform at mwstake.org.

Insights into the use of MediaWiki outside of the Wikimedia Foundation. We conducted a survey and published the results in a MediaWiki Usage Report. Also, we skimmed mailing lists and other sources to compile a list of most commonly requested features.

Models of MediaWiki governance. In our discussions with all stakeholders it turned out that MediaWiki as a software product lacks governance. We are actively seeking models and ways to bring together the needs of development for Wikipedia with the needs of 3rd party users.
